Indeed we do, calling @incorrigible !

having now actually read the description, think I might have put it in the wrong section! (where's the face palm emoji when you need it!). Hopefully @incorrigible is interested in road e-stay framesets too?.

Wow, those dropouts look rather flexy!

Anyone recognise the brakes? Homemade?

Way after my time so have zero knowledge but is it an aero TT frame? Just curious

I can't add anything about the frame but the seller is excellent . I've bought a fair few things from him , all high end , all accurately described and open to negotiation .

I do really like it

He took £150 off one bike and £75 off another for me ......

@Mod-Master , @onegoodbike ,

Thanks very much for the notification. I would definitely be interested in that bike.....if only I were a bit taller.

In the past, I'd say I was 5'8", and perhaps even 5'9" if I were standing on the Equator at high tide at midnight during the Vernal Equinox when the moon is full, but now in my 60's I think I'm closer to 5'6". Shrinkage. It's a thing.

That bike is definitely a beauty and I'm quite attracted to it despite it being of the road-going persuasion, but having a bike that is too tall for me is an exercise in frustration. In fact, I think I'd suffer performance anxiety and worry that I wasn't up to the challenge of riding it to its full potential in the manner that such a rare beauty should be ridden. No doubt other guys would see me as an inadequate rider who didn't deserve such a bike and would thus get jealous and want to publicly confront me and take it from me. Even if I could ride it, I'd probably suffer a hernia just trying to mount it.

Wait, we ARE talking about bikes, right?

I DO like the paint scheme though. Very unique.
